“Our goal has always been to bring in highly successful speakers who can serve as great examples for our students,” Sartarelli said. “The speakers we have scheduled for the fall certainly do that and more.”

“We really believe this is an exciting lineup of speakers,” said Sartarelli. “The level of participation by students has always reflected the quality of the speakers we have presented, and we think they’ll take advantage of listening to and interacting with these dynamic individuals.”

Dr. Karen Donovan, B&E associate dean for academic affairs, said participation by students and the University community has been high.

“We’ve seen great participation not only by students at the business school, but also by students at other colleges on campus,” Donovan said. “We also welcome faculty and staff from the WVU community and the general public, and that response has been fantastic. The feedback we’ve received tells us our past events have been valuable learning experiences.”
